Andorno Creek is located in the Santa Rosa Range, east of US 95, north of 140.

Carlson states that the name is of an undetermined origin.[1] However, Marshall states that people in the area have roots in Andorno Micca, Italy.[2]

Andorno Ranch is nearby and was a stage stop known as Awakening Peak and Paradise Valley.[3]

Andorno is mentioned in a 1913 news paper[4]

Andorno House was a 48 room hotel at Andorno Ranch[5][6]
